The Tigers will have to put Sunday's 107-89 loss to Sam Houston State behind them quickly with Alabama State visiting Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum Tuesday evening.

Auburn (5-6) has lost three of its last four games but will have an opportunity to bounce back against a Hornet squad that's 2-7 on the season and has replaced all five starters from last year's SWAC Championship team.

"We need to respond well," AU head coach Jeff Lebo said. "We need to get something good to happen to us early offensively and defensively."
